Nice one! As you'll have seen above, I've had to 'elaborate' a bit on my Club Car ruling....I don't want people to read to much into what is and isn't classed as a 'Producition' car, but I do understand there are a few cars/manufacturers that are grey areas.

In the end, we are all tuning to 455 PP, so whatever we choose, if your car is too powerful to start with, it will end up seriously crippled if all you've got is the Power Limiter to get it under 455 PP.
 
Yeah I saw a nice NISMO car but that of course isn't a production car. I actually have to search the UCD every cycle because I lost my save when my HDD got corrupted and my backup save was hence corrupted too! Still managed to find something nice :D
 
Spent a bit of time with the "Chosen One" and got into the 1:12s with a bit more to come.

Colours will be lime green with black rims.

Looks like everyone has made it through the chicane safely.....​


4-6.png

...prehaps not as Geordie139 & Third_Reign make the grass :ouch:​


5-6.png

No corner cutting....isn't that right Jamesybograt :sly:​

The sand claims it's first victim - our very own Jammy_Rex in his first CORE GT race :ouch:​


8-6.png

Dowlin39 performing some expensive grass cutting :scared:​

Looks like Fuelmyfire has overcooked it coming out of the fast righthander!​


10-6.png

Fuelmyfire can only watch as OmniusALX gains vital seconds​


11-6.png

Third_Reign has to react to avoid the stationary Fuelmyfire!!!! :eek:​


12-6.png

Looks like Third_Reign made too much of it and ends up in the sand!​


13-6.png

Meanwhile, Ade3210 & Geordie139 - Neck and Neck approaching the big sweeper...​


14-6.png

...nothing between Ade3210 & Geordie139 on the Start/Finish straight!!!​


15-5.png

Unlucky for Ade3210, where as Geordie139 nails his braking point 👍​


16-5.png

Ade3210 carrying damage capitalises on Dowlin39 going off track as OmniusALX 'alerts' both drivers :lol:​


17-5.png

Dowlin39 overcooks his entry into the chicane....​

20-5.png

Upfront, race leader KingBestJr takes his first pitstop with Hillracing (2nd) and Jamesybograt (3rd) right behind!!!​


21-5.png

22-5.png

OmniusALX avoided Fuelmyfire, but not without loosing it! :eek:​


23-4.png

Ade3210, still carrying damage, closing in on Third_Reign​


24-5.png

Jamesybograt can almost taste 2nd position! Can he reel in Hillracing?​


25-5.png

OmniusALX is about to be lapped while running in 5th position by KingBestJr....better not get in the way of the leader :nervous:​


26-5.png

With a damaged NSX, Ade3210 can only watch KingBestJr start his final lap​


27-5.png

And there it is! KingBestJr wins in his debut and the first race of Season 5! 👍​

Congratulations King! :)​


28-5.png

Last lap drama! Hillracing misses his braking point as OmniusALX approaches the first chicane...​


29-4.png

OmniusALX & Hillracing, Team mates???....​


30-3.png

...Nope! :lol: Hillracing glances off OmniusALX, but no damage is done :scared:​
 
I don't think I came out of that very well... Sorry again ^^ that was my first ever race with a wheel :c and I think you can tell. Was a great laugh though :)
 
Great pics Ominius!!

Going to test a few other cars out for club car tonight. Just to make sure i got best car for me.

Edit: Found another car i like, ran a 1:12.406 with it. Decisions decisions which car to choose. Think i will do some more looking at different cars till i can hit a 1:11 lmao.

Hey considering you've made the move to a wheel, and used it online I think you did quite well! As for basic wheel settings I find setting (in the options) Steering Type to Simulation, Power Assisted Steering - On and I prefer Feedback also set to 10 (if you haven't already) As for pedals, I find if you use ABS 1, set your Brake Balances to 8/8 then test and adjust down over, if you have ABS off, you can start with 3/3 - These are just how I do it, it might not work for you :)

Thanks for the kind words! I've been reinvigorated by the new interest in Season 5 with the new drivers, so I've returned to taking the time to add the photographic highlight reel like I did back in Season 3 👍 Plus it shows visitors to the thread what we've been doing :)

You've thrown the gauntlet well and truly with your times! Not to mention you have a lot of drivers wondering *what* car have you found that gives you this amazing turn of speed! 👍 Can't wait for Round 2 even more now!!!
 
Thanks for the advice :) I'll give it a try. My real problem is oversteer, I simply cannot hold a slide and always spin... So any oversteer and I'm facing the wrong way...

Try setting the rear toe to 0.00 first, then if you still get oversteer, try positive adjustments - 0.05, 0.10, 0.12, 0.14 etc etc.... Also look at your damper and compression rates, try to even out the load (weight) if you are lighter at the front or rear, you can go softer with suspension and vice versa, but remember weight transfer comes into effect when braking heavy (the weight will transfer forward or backward under acceleration)

I normally set my cars to this default then test drive and see whats happening...

Ride height - Lowest
Spring rate - -25% of current value if I've fully weight reduced the car
Dampers - Ext - 7/7
Dampers - Comp - 6/6
Anti-Roll Bars - 5/5
Camber (-) 2.0/2.0
Toe Angle -0.15/0.05 (RWD) 0.00 (FWD) -0.20 (4WD)

Like I said, this is just a default setting until I drive and feel whats happening, then its a case of tweaking one bit at a time to get it how I like 👍
 
Thanks for the help, I'll give it a go :)

I think the problem is that I can't control the oversteer. So even the slightest slide and I lose it. I just sail off the track. Of course if I never oversteered then it wouldn't be a problem ^^
 
Here is what i would try go with like a 2 in the front for ride height and a 5 in the rear. Another thing is your lsd, try your lsd at 6 8 16 and see how it feels. If car is to tight and not turning good enough raise your front ride height a little at a time and can also lower the rear. Here is my theory doesnt make sense but it is how the game has it. The bigger the difference the front ride height is to the rear (front higher rear lower), the looser and more able the front to turn. The closer to equal the tighter its gets, and the higher the difference the rear ride height being higher than the Front ride height the tighter it will get and start getting understeer.
 
I have always tried to help anyone with setups. In the GTRRL league i help run i have gave the exact setup i use to a bunch of guys. Anything to help people out and make racing closer the more fun the racing is and more challenging which in turn will make me better.

i seem to have said something like this also.
help the slower drivers get quicker to challenge the faster drivers and make everyone better.:)
 
You sure did jamesy! This is the reason I just love racing around Monza! Invaluable tips/driving lines & setups!

REQUIRED CAR - Club Racing/Northlander​


Any 'Standard' Model @ PP 455​

Production cars ONLY!
(No race, tuned/custom or concept cars)​

Full use of Aero Allowed, Unrestricted Tuning​

No 4WD​

Oil Change, Engine Re-Builds/Restorations Allowed​

Sports Hard Tyres​



Just to clarify the cars 'not' allowed - as in not in the spirit of Club Racing. I said No Race, Tuned, Custom or Concept. 3 out of the 4 are straight forward and I don't think anyone has any doubts as to what UCD cars would fall into those catergories...

The one that seems to be causing slight problems is what I mean for the 'Tuned' cars. Prehaps I should have specified it as Tuned/Custom...for example - RUF = Production (as there is no Porsche in GT5), NISMO = Tuner etc...

These are the cars that either were never Homologated or were built in very small numbers - under 200, or purely built for racing then a handful were built to 'homologate' them.

Cars not to be confused as Tuned are 'Performance' models from within a car range from a manufacturer, so the Ford Focus RS, Honda Civic Type R, or Renault Clio V6 etc...

The spirit of Club Racing are cars that you could see as 'mass market/everyday use' that we then tune for racing, be it a base model or a performance model, provided they are not - Race derived, Tuned/Custom, or Concept.

I hope that this clarifies what manufacturer/vehicles are now allowed 👍

Just to add to Omnius' point about the RUF, if you go into the description of the RUF BTR '86 in GT5 it says '' The cars built at RUF Autombile, while based on Porche platforms, are not Porche tuning cars. All RUF models are full production cars assembled from white body shells at the RUF factory''.

So essentially the relationship between Porche and RUF is the same Ford and Mazda had a few years back when they built the Fiesta and 121. The same car just different badge on the front. Same can be said for the Subaru BRZ and the Toyota 86GT 👍 So maybe we could see one or two RUFs on Friday ;).

Also Omnius great pictures once again, glad I made it into a few pictures thanks to the few battles I had with Ade.

I have two cars i like now but run almost identical times with them. What to do what to do.

This was me too! Well up to today.....without trying to overthink the season, too much testing has been done on HSR! My problem, the car I was going to use from as far back as 2 and a bit weeks ago, now is giving me headaches around GVE-R :banghead: but my 2nd choice feels much better :confused:

Lets not forget - there are 3 other tracks we'll be racing the Club Car on! :lol:
 
Speaking of club cars, I'll be opening an online room soon to test about 25 cars if any of you want to join me and do the same. Since i don't have a preference of car yet i just thought I'd let you guys know and maybe we could help each other with tuning problems were having 👍 Doesn't bother me if all of you join or none just thought i'd tell you.

👍 👍 👍

On other news.....I don't know how I've done it, but it looks as if the CORE GT Series has made it's way to Japan????

Check this out >>> CORE GT San!

Just scroll down the page and all will be revealed :eek:
 

For all you new wheel users, what I have found works nice to get you used to the wheel from using the DS3 is the following...

Choose your car of choice (unmodified)

Fit Sport Tyres (your choice of compound)
Fit the Fixed Sport Suspension
Fit the Close Ratio Gearbox (5 or 6 speed depending on car)
Fit a Sports Exhaust

And thats it!

Now drive it around multiple laps of the Nordschleife and try to increase your speed as well as try aiming for a nice flow. This is what I do when trying out a new car/setup or just if I want to practice my GT5 driving. I find it helps when you come to online racing, even more so for drivers new to using the wheel! 👍

Love it too bad im not saying what im running anymore hehe. :sly:
 
Wow last time I looked at this thread my car was fast and come back to see it sucks. LOL. Guess I got some homework to do. Might just need to learn to tune the thing. BTW enjoyed the first race on Friday. Hope I can get up to speed to contend by the end of the season. Does anyone know of any good tuning guides for the game? Seems what works in real life doesn't work exactly in the game or at least that's been my experience.
